Description

Hi,

I hope this is not a duplicate, at least I didn't found an issue which matches our problem.

We upgraded our pfSense instance from 2.1.5 to 2.2.4. Everytime I change something on our dhcp service apply those changes or just restart the dhcp services, the leases files gets the wrong permissions, which leads into "no free leases" error in the logs. We do only use IPv4.

This is what the permission look like:

[2.2.4-RELEASE][admin@ro0001.local]/var/dhcpd/var/db: ls -al
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 dhcpd _dhcp 512 Aug 14 12:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 dhcpd _dhcp 512 Jan 12 2015 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root _dhcp 670 Aug 14 12:51 dhcpd.leases
-rw-r--r-- 1 dhcpd _dhcp 670 Aug 14 12:48 dhcpd.leases~
-rw-r--r-- 1 dhcpd _dhcp 0 Jan 12 2015 dhcpd6.leases

and this is what it should look like (I checked this on another pfSense instance, which was setup from scratch):

[2.2.4-RELEASE][admin@ro0201.local]/root: ls -lah /var/dhcpd/var/db/
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 2 dhcpd _dhcp 512B Aug 14 11:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 dhcpd _dhcp 512B May 10 2014 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 dhcpd _dhcp 3.0K Aug 14 11:50 dhcpd.leases
-rw-r--r-- 1 root _dhcp 3.0K Aug 14 11:50 dhcpd.leases~
-rw-r--r-- 1 dhcpd _dhcp 0B May 10 2014 dhcpd6.leases

Notice the ownership of the dhcpd.leases file.

Any hints on how to solve this issue are highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Stefan
